Chilean Embassy Addition (WIP) - updated Dec19

Edson

That looks awesome Edson!

Your vegetation also looks amazing, is that from the free Podium pack?

thanks, pete. yes, most of them are (aren't they great looking?) just the ones in the foreground are not.

interestingly, the leafless tree that appears on the sides of the two topmost images was photographed and cleaned by me (it sits on the nearest street corner from my house).

The renderings look great! The design looks great too!

Very nice Edson. You certainly progressed a lot since your first stpes into PR renders.
I'm not a fan of the other vegetation but your tree works really very well and doesnt look out of place at all

Edson

thanks, dzine and ross.

i am curious as to why the podium vegetation looks better in some renders than in others. there must be an explanation for that.

Maybe the direction of light? They are 2D trees, aren't they?

probably. yes, they are.

Gaieus

Although you could probably test some easy settings where the sun is shining from behind of the and the onto the face of them, you can surely not avoid certain situations all the time. Light can be a very effective element of a render and well, trees are just there...

Nice renders, BTW

Fantastic work Edson. You rendering skills have really come to shine. I agree the vegetation looks great.

Can you share render times/sizes with us?

Scott

thanks, scott. i can certainly share this info with you.
top view: 1h41min, 1680x917 (viewport resolution)
middle view: 3h49min, 1680x917
bottom view, 2h8min, 1680x917

however, you should note that i used the noisy preset which is a render setting that runs forever (that is, it does not stop when a render is done). thus what i do is set up everything and leave it rendering while i do something else or even go out. so the times i listed above are the time when i interrupted the rendering, not necessarily the moment it was done. for instance, one render of the middle view was fine in 21min but i had to throw it away because the grass was not good yet.

Edson, it's always a pleasure seeing your designs. Keep 'em coming.

Very nice. I particularly like the second one with the landscape reflection and the overall design of the addition.

My grandfather used to work copper in Argentina.

Edson

I have just added a 4th view to the ones posted above.

Edson,

I have to say, I rarely post and rarely reply but the design is fantastic. A beautiful project and as mentioned by others, your presentation is near flawless.

Best wishes,

Allen

Edson

thanks gu, daniel, bruce and allen for your kind words.

all i can say is that my progress in modelling and rendering began the moment i joined SCF and, later, the podium forum. with the help of several people i have been able to develop and fine tune my skills in SUp, podium and photoshop. it would take me much longer to advance this much if i did not have this amazing support.

Edson

my first night render. 24m to render plus 10-15m post processing.

Beautiful! I love this project and the renders are top notch.
